Happy Valentine's Day

Valentines Day 2016

Our Valentines Day was simple. My sweet guy took me to The Barn to look at antiques, we had lunch and exchanged Valentine cards. 

We sent our son a card and package and gave our daughter cards and flowers.

 Simple + Sweet.

My sweet Mr. Darling loves his coffee....So I got him something different to try out...And he enjoyed every drop. We were meant to bean!!!!

Mr. Darling had flowers delivered to the door...

What a surprise when the doorbell rang and opening the door to a precious bouquet. I'm so happy we don't expect fancy, expensive Valentines stuff or dates. Valentines can be so over rated! lol....Hope y'all had a nice day with your loved ones. Happy Valentines day to you!

The Barn At Hoey Ranch

My sweetheart took me out for a little Valentine date to visit The Barn At Hoey Ranch just 10 minutes from where we live. It is a beautiful large barn owned by 5th generation Jim and Debbie Hoey. The barn was built in the 1850's. Originally the family had a cattle ranch and grew grapes and prunes. Ranch hands and horses lived on the land as well. Later in the 40's they grew grapes, prunes and pear orchards. Now the barn is a well~known antique shop & Barntiquities. It was truly a dream come true...And The owners were so awesome. I love love love Debbie! She is such a sweetheart!

It was fun going through all the chippy, rusty goodness with my better half! I love how he gets me and knows what I love... If you are ever in Gilroy California go see The Barn and meet Debbie!!!

of rust and lichen and morning dew,

of hardy structures that have sheltered you.

 

amid hills and grass with gentle breeze,

these are the things of memories.
